Post-Fordism and its Discontents

The book Post-Fordism and its discontents is rethinking the recent transformations of global capitalism in the light of its manifold internal fractures and contradictions. It addresses complex connections between culture and economy in order to scrutinise what underpins the logic of late capitalism. This volume is not a post-Fordist reader, but offers a confrontation on major controversies of post-Fordist theory, debated by researchers and scholars from a variety of theoretical contexts, ranging from Marxist, post-Marxist to post-Fordist. They present their takes on rethinking a return to a fundamental theoretical rupture: to Karl Marx's critique of political economy. The volume includes diverse contributions by Sergio Bologna, Jacques Rancière, Katja Diefenbach, Sandro Mezzadra, Rastko Močnik and others.
